I'm finally working up the courage to share my poetry here. Just self-published a collection this past August. Only took me 3 years. #poetrylovers

I already have so many books to read but shoot, now I have more. #poetry #bookaddict newyorker.com/books/page-tur…
This article is what made me remember my doctor’s incompetence yesterday. nytimes.com/2018/08/14/well/…
This chick just made my day by coming over to me at a bar to bond over our mutual habit of annotating books.
I’m now that person with a matress and matching pillow protectors.... I feel extraordinarily ordinary now.
Sometimes your best poem ideas come to you during a bath and you have to get up and type them right there on the tile floor.
A band stole my man for a tour and grad school school stole my free time. Can’t wait to say ‘hi’ to my actual friends again soon.
Personal care for me tonight looks like delivery food, a whiskey ginger minus the whiskey, and 1/2 an episode of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Now, I officially need to start writing a paper for class.
All I want is for one person to react to "I'm emotionally drained today" with anything other than offense, anger, defensiveness, or annoyance. How about a simple "I'm sorry to hear that. Take some time for you today."?
I've lost my phone three times within the 2 hours I've been awake. Don't even try to get in touch with me today. I'll be busy pacing my apartment in search of small little notifications whispering "bing" at me.
Spent a whole day in class on a Saturday and it was way better than anything else I’ve done with my time this week.
The upside of waiting around for my food is I finally learned how to apply eyeliner on my bottom lid. Major achievement of the day.
I ordered a burger for delivery during rush hour like a dummy. Every minute I wait I get a minute further away from the estimated delivery time.

If you are publishing work this month, you might feel uncomfortable promoting it, given the atrocities in the US right now. But I encourage you to share widely and loudly. We need art and words and story and poem more than ever.

Volume 9 has it all! 8 poems, 3 prose pieces, a memoir, an essay and a comic! The only thing missing? You. buckoffmag.com
This a damn good read for today. This magazine recently rejected me but I totally get it. There is some amazing poetry in their new issue. bit.ly/2t1Qi5s
